In 1996, Kamal Mansour joined Monotype Typography's development
office in Palo Alto, California, as Manager of Non-Latin
Products. Over the past few years, Kamal has played a central
role in several projects involving large, Unicode-based fonts.
In the past, Kamal has done a variety of software work including
multilingual keyboard input, compiler development, CAD-related
programs, as well as system support. More recently, he ran Kappa
Type, a firm which specialized in high-quality fonts for lesser
served languages. An early multilingual education in Cairo,
Egypt, served only to stimulate Kamal's curiosity about
languages, writing systems, etymology, and typography. Kamal
holds an MS in Computer Science, as well as a Diploma in Product
Design. When he is not playing with his two young children, he
can often be caught looking up strange words in dictionaries.
